Chapter 58 The Price of Betrayal

+20 Free Coins

Five years ago, Natalie had brought Witch Doctor to save Jensen’s life. Jensen had been deeply grateful, but when he asked her what price she had paid for such a miracle, Natalie told him not to ask again. She kept her lips sealed.

That silence had left a knot buried in Jensen’s chest.

Throughout history, when women as powerless as Natalie sought help, how else could they bargain?

What could they offer, if not their bodies?

But she had done it to save his life.

So even if Jensen had felt an ache of unease in his heart, he had buried it deep, telling himself it was all for him, all for his survival.

He had sworn to treat Natalie well, to cherish her for a lifetime.

And yet each time he kissed her, each time he tried to go further-he found himself unable to.

He loved her so much. Her talent, her grace, her beauty, everything about her. But why was it that, in that most intimate way, he could not move forward?

He had told himself time would heal everything.

That was why he had promised Natalie he would propose to her on their fifth anniversary.


He had prepared himself to take that step, to finally give her all of himself.

But then Sharon appeared.

She wanted him to marry her.
